This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you.

PREFACE. 



> 



^ 



Szwcx thi^ Annual was first undertaken, nineteen years have 

passed away, seven administrations have been summoned to 

the councils of the Sovereign, six parliaments have been 

elected, and five have been dissolved. Within this period imi- 

A tators and plagiarists without number have too often sought 

k to intercept the just rewards of an original design, and to 

^ sustain a precarious existence by borrowing almost every 

feature of typography, language, and decoration. But the turn 

|\ of mind which dictated spoliation was naturally incapable of 

^ impartiality; and those who appropriated without hesitation 

^ the outward features of a successful plan contributed at least 

y^ one item to their compilations— the taint of political bias. It is 

Q not surprising therefore that this volume, which, during every 

ministerial vicissitude since the passing of the Reform Bill, 

has aimed at avoiding party tendencies, should hare succeeded 

in acquiring public support; and that it should once more 

appeal to a Just and generous body of readers with the con- 

IQ fidence of an enlarged experience and the sanguine energy of 

04 a renewed life. 

0) To describe in any preface or introduction the kind of in- 
•^ formation which may be found in these pages is now fortunately 
• a needless task; every reader who is not already well acquainted 
C£) with its purposes and characteristics may be safely referred to 
Csj the Table of Contents for the shortest exposition of its objects 
* , and the strongest evidence of its utility.

EXPLANATION OF PARLIAMENTARY TERMS 
AND PROCEEDINGS. 



AMOURNIIENT —See Intemtptimi of the Sittings of Ptf liunent. 

AMENDMENT.— See Order. 

AVOIDANCE OF A DECISION.— When a motion has been made vpon 
which the House hapi>en8 to be unwilling to come to a yote, there are 
Cmrmal modes of aroldlng a decision, amongst which are passing "to the 
other orders,*' or moring *' the prcTions question." The former means, 
that the Hoase shoold—casting aside and taking no flurther ootice of the 
matter then befiore it— proceed to the other business appointed for that 
day ; the latter, that a rote be prerioasly taken as to the expediency of 
coming to any decision on the question raised. If ' ' the prerioas question" 
be not carried, the motion to which it referred is only gotten rid of for 
the time, whereas a direct negatire to the motion itself would be a pro- 
scription of it for the ronainder of the Session, as well as a denial of its 
principle. With respect to a BOI, moring that it "be read this day six 
months," or this day three months, is a mode of throwing it out without 
eoming to an express dedaration ngainst the principle of the measure. 

BILLS (PRIVATE).— These are chiefly introduced to enable private indi- 
TJdnals, associated together, to undertake woilu of publie utility at their 
own risk, and, in a degree, for their own benefit ; but there are other pri- 
vate IhIIs, as those of naturalisation, change of name, divorce, or for per- 
fecting titles to estates, fire. Generally speaking, expenses, including 
the fees, attendant upon a private bill amount to 600/., and frequently to a 
■neh larger sum. The fees on a bill for the natnralimttion of a foreigner 
are limited to 1001. The class of professional gentlemen who act as solici- 
tors in praooting private bills are called ParliaaMntary Agents. 

SHJjS (PUBLIC).— a bill is the draft or skdeton of a statute. Any bill 
vhicli the Lords can originate may be Introduced and laid on the table bv

the OoBUDoiM no bill can be brongfat ID luiless amotion forleaTcbe prerioaaly 
agreed to. PermiMion haTteg been granted, three or fbar members are mp- 
polntedto prepare the bill. It Is then brought in and read a first time, nraally 
^Itboat amendBMnt or debate, and a day appointed for the second reading, 
preTicNuly te which it is printed and a copy ftimished to erery member. 
llfce bill, after the aeoond reading, is referred to a Committee of the 
whole House, when its details are considered, as its principles were 
npon each of its sererat readings. Members are at liberty to discvss ita 
principle on any of its stages, bat no one is considered to have de- 
clared deeialTely in favoor of its principle aDl«!|is he rapport by his 
rote its second reading. In Committee the bill is debated clanse by 
elanse, the blanks left for names, dates, nature and amount of penal- 
ties, &e. am ftUed up, and sometimes the bill entirely new-modelled. 
The next proceeding is, that the Chairman of the Committee should 
make a report to the Honse of the changes that the bill has under- 
gone, which he does by presenting a eopy of it to the Speaker in 
its altered form. The House then re-eonslders the whole measure. Mo- 
lions may be made and questions put upon every clause or amendmrnt, 
a nd the bill may be even re-committed. After the report of the Committee has 
been agreed to, the bill is ordered to be printed. After which it is read a third 
time, and forther amendments may then be made. If a new elanae be 
added, it is ealled a rider. The last question but one is, that the " bill do 
pass;" after this nothing remains except to determine its title, which 
used to be a general one for all the acts passed in the Session, but in modem 
times distinct titles are nsed for each statute. During the progress of a bill 
the Honse may divide on the following questions : Ist , on the second reading ; 
Sndfthat it be committed ; 8rd» that the report of the committee be received ; 
4th, or that the bill be re-committed; 5th, that it be read a third time; 6th, 
that it do pass ; 7th, the title of the bill. These are quite exclusive of any 
divisions concerning the particular days to be appointed for proceeding 
with any stage of the measure, or of any proceedings in Committee, or any 
amendments, or of any clauses added to or expunged ttom the measure in 
or out of the Committee. Alterations are not usually proposed in a bill 
until after its principle has been dispoaed of tm the second reading. 
Immediately after the passing of a bill, the permanent Chairman of 
Committees in the case of bills introduced by the Government, or the 
mover of the bill in other oases, talces it and proceeds, accompanied by 
a few supporters of the measure, to convey it tn the bar of their Lordships* 
Honse, desiring their eonourrence. It there passes throqgh the same forms, 
except that of engrossing, which has been already done. If the bill be 
rejected, noftirther prooeedinga ensue. When the Lords agree with the Com* 
nonf in the principle of tbe me««iire, b«t diffto on matters of detail, a con-

inflexible, the bill is dropped. The mme proceedings are adopted mutaii*

areread once only in each Hoose. The bill having thus passed both Honses, 
remains with the Lords, exeept in the case of a bill of supply, which is 
aent back to the Commons, to be by them presented at the bar of the Lords 
to the Sovereign or the royal Conunissioners. The assent of the Ccown is 
the final proceeding which converts a bill into an Act of Parliament. No 
Act of Parliament can be altered, amended, or repealed dnring the Session 
in which it was passed, unless it contain a clanse authorising a departure 
from the getHsral rule. (See " Royal Assent.")

BUDGBT (THE).— The Chancellor of the Exchequer makes one general 
statement every year to the Houseof Commons, which isiotended to present 
a comprehensive view of the financial condition of the country. Some- 
tisMs there are preliminary, or supplemental, or occasional speeches! 
bat the great general statement of the year has. for a long time past, been 
quaintly called '*th0 Budget," fh>m the French bouffett*, by a common 
fguie of speech, putting the name of that which incloses, to signify the 
thing contained. The annual speech known by that appellation embraces 
a review of the income and expenditure or the last year, as compared 
with those of preceding years; remarks upon the financial prospects 
of the country; an exposition of the intended repeal, modifications, 
or iaq>oeition of taxes during the semion; and a detail of the public ex- 
penditoze daring the current period, with its grounds of justification. 

CABINET.— The government of a state or community is understood to 
signify the exercise of supreme authority, and includes the executive, the 
legislative, and the judicial powers ; but in popular acceptation it means 
only the first of these, the higher and more immediate fhnctions of which 
axe exercised by the Cabinet, a select body in whom, forthe time being, 
the whole of the royal authority is vested. Its members all belong to the 
Privy Council, but do not include a tithe of that body. The Cabinet ia 
compoeed of the more eminent portion of the Adminidtration, but it does 
not oonsCitute more than a fourth part of those whom a change of ministry 
deprires of i^ce, the persons included in that council being rarely less 
than ten or more than fifteen. The cabinet being more immediately re* 
sponsible for the conduct of public affairs, their deliberations are always 
eonsldeied oonfidential, and kept secret even from their colleagues, who 
are lean exalted in oiBce. The distinguished individual who fills the sitna> 
tion of First Lord of the Treasury, and combined with it sometimes that 
of Chancellor of the Exchequer, is the chief of the ministry, and therefore

of the oaUnet : he is hmomHj ityled, the " PEenyer*** or " Fkiaie MfaiisCer," 
bat more properly designated as " the head of her Majesty's goTernmeiit.*' 
It is at his immediate reoommcndation that his eoUeagues are appointed t 
and, with hardly an exception, he dispenses the patronage of the orown. 
Every cabinet includes the following high oflcers:— The First Lord of the 
Treasury, the Ixard Chancellor, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord 
Piiyy Sealf the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the three Secretaries of 
State. Sereral other ministerial functionaries, however, have seats in the 
cabinrt; nerer less than three, and rarely so many as eight or nine of this 
latter class, are called to that station. Their oftoes are as follow :— Chief 
Commissioner of Woods and Forests, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan- 
caster, First Lord of the Admiralty, President of the Board of Oontroul, 
President of the Board of Trade, Secretary at War, Paymaster-General of 
the Forces, Master of the Mint, Judge Advoeato^Seneral, Postmaster- 
General, MasterUSeneral of the Ordnance, Chief Secretary for Ireland, 
Chief Jostioe of the Queen*s Bench.* The selection usually flills upon 
those amongst the latter mentioned ftinctionaries, whose rank, talents, 
reputation, and political weight, render them the most useftal auxiliaries, 
or whose services, while in opposition, may have created the strongest 
claims to the honours of the cabinet. It has occasionally happened that 
a peer posseming high character and inluenoe accepts a seat in tha cabinet 
without undertaking the labours and responsibility of any particular 
oMee. Although this select coonoil has now been regarded during seveial 
generations as an essential part of our polity, yet it still oontinnes to be 
unknown to the law. The names of the noblemen and gentlemen who 
compose it are never officially announced to the public. No record is kept 
of its resolutions or meetings, nor has its existence ever been recogniied 
by any act of parliament. (See Crown, Executire.) 



CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES OF THE WHOLE HOUSE.— In the 
Commons this officer— always a member — ^is dected by the House on the 
assembling of every new Parliament. When the House is in committee on 
bills introduced by the goremment, or in committee of ways and means, 
or supply (see Committee of Supply), or in committee to consider prelimi- 
nary resolutions, it Is his duty to preside i he sits, not in the Speaker's 
chair, but at the table in the seat of the Clerk of the House. On divisions, 
when the numbers happen to be equal, he giTCs the casting Toice, but in 
committees he never otherwise votes. In the Lords, the Chairman of Com- 
mittees of the whole House is elected by the House every Session.

TEKMS AND PR0CBBDIN08. 75 

CSELTBBN HUNDREDS.— An aoceptanoe of '* the ChiUerai Hundreds '* 
t« 4 ftHrm whidi has now no other meaning than that the Member accepting 
rerigns liis seat. No offlce, having emolument attached, can be conferred 
bf the Crtfwn on a Member of the House of Commons without his thereby 
Tacating his seat, and it is only by obtaining oflBce that a Member can rid 
himself of the duties which any body of constituents may impose even with- 
out his consent ; the Crown, therefiore, for the convenience of the House 
at large, is alwaysready to confer on any Member " the Stewardship of her 
Majesty's Chiltern Hundreds, the Stewardship of the Manor of Poynings, 
of East Hendred and Northstead, or the Escbeatorship of Mnnster ;" sine- 
cures which he continues to hold till some other Member solicits a similar 
aeconuDodation. Many o£Bces, however, though in reality government 
appointments, are not directly conferred by the Crown, but by the heads of 
the several departments; of this number are certain of the British Mini- 
sters accredited to Foreign Courts, and some of the Deputy Secretaries. 
Ihe acceptance of such offices does not necessarily deprive a member of his 
seat in the House of Commons. 

CLEBK OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—" The Cleik of the Commons' 
House of Parliament" holds an office of great trust and importance. He, 
with two assistants, sits at the upper end of the table. The Crown ap. 
points him by letters patent, and, when necessary, he can appoint a 
deputy. The appointment of the other clerks in the service of the House 
is vested in him. It is his duty to make minutes, not of the arguments 
hdd in the House, but of the decisions at which it arrives— in other words, 
to record its votes, resolutions, addresses, orders, reports, divisions, and 
all other proceedings in which it may be engaged; to see that they are 
correctly printed and distributed to the members, to read aloud all such 
documents as the House may order to be read, to perform the duty (without 
taking the chair) of president or moderator during the choice of a Speaker, 
putting a quejttion and directing a division in the same manner as a 
chairman would. 

COMMITTALS.— In common with courts of law and equity, the Houses 
of Parliament can punish all contempts of their authority or disobedience of 
their mandates. Each House is armed with power to repress any aggres- 
aion committed upon their rights, or any interference with their privileges : 
but in the case of the Commons the operation of this power is limited to 
the session of Parliament, comnUttals by that House being invalidated 
by n prorogation. Either House can delegate to a Committee the power 
of sending for papers and records, and of enforcing the attendance of 
necessary witnesses. 



76 EXPLANATION OP PARLIAMJSNTARY 

COMMITTEES— Are, first, those of the whole House, which may be 
to ooniider of certain Resolatioiis, as to the nature of which considerable 
latitude prevails ; or the House resolres itself into such Committee to con- 
sider the details of a Bill, the principle of which may be discussed at any 
or all of its other stages; or there may be Committees for financial purposes 
as those of "Supply," or "Ways and Means" (which see). Secondly, 
There are Select Committees chosen by ballot or otherwise for some specific 
purpose— the numbers composing such bodies seldom exceed twenty or 
thirty members; occasionally these are declared Committees of Secrecy. 
Thirdly, Election Committees, which are judicial tribunals, appointed to try 
the merits of controverted elections— these are always chosen by ballot. 
Fourthly, Committees on private Bills (which see) . When the whole House 
is in Committee, the Speaker vacates the Chair, the Mace is placed under 
the table ; and some other Member is called on to preside, who sits in the 
seat of the senior Clerk. For Committees of Supply, and Ways and Means,

CONFERENCE.— This is aspedesof negotiation between the two Houses 
of Parliament, conducted by managers appointed on both sides, for the 
porpose of producing concurrence, in cases where mutual consent is neces- 
sary ; or for the purpose of reconciling differences which may have arisen. 
If the conference be upon the subject of a trill depending between the two 
Houses, it must be demanded by that House which, at the time of asking 
the conference, is in possession of the bill. It is the sole privilege of the 
Lords to name the time and place fbr holding a conference, no matter by 
which House it may have been demanded. Reasons in writing for the 
course resolved to be taken, are usually iVimished to the managers on both 
sides, in which case it is simply called '* a conference." Should this proceed- 
ing fail, a *' free conference " must be held, which gives an opportunity 
for the managers individually, and unrestrained by any precise form of 
argument, to urge such reasons as in their judgment may best tend to 
influence the House to which they are addressed. A firee conference is 
Usually demanded after two conferences have beenholden without effiect. 
After one tne conference, none other but ttee conferences can be held 
touching the same subject. In May, 1851, it was agreed both by Lords 
and Commons, that reasons respecting differences of opinion on any bill or 
other proceeding might be conunnnicated to either House by message fh>m 
the other, and that no conference need take plai-^ unless specially requested. 
At all conferences, the managers on the part of the Upper House are 
seated and wear their hats; those for the Commons stand uncovered. The 
Speaker quits the chair of the House during the absence of managers 
attending a conference. 



TERMS AND PROCBEDIWGS. 77 

CROWN.— The inrerogatives and functions of the Crown may be aammed 
■p under the following heads:— To give or reftiM to bills the *' Royal 
Assent " (which see) ; to caose the due administration and execution of 
the laws ; to act on behalf of the whole community in its Interooorse with 
VsXtign States, and as a part of that, to declare war or conclude peace ; to 
direct the naval and military force of the country } to administer the public 
revenue ; to prorogue or dissoWe Parliament ; to create peers; and tnooin 
money. The monarch is the head of the Church ; the source of Justice and 
of mercy, of allofflces, honours, emoluments, and chartered rights. But in 
every ense the sovereign acts by ministers who are amenable to Parliament, 
and the choice of those ministers is the only prerogative, which can be 
oonstitntionnlly exercised without responsible advisers; but even over 
this, there is much Parliamentary controul, for the royal favour can have 
ao practical effect, unless it rest upon men whose characters and measures 
prove generally acceptable to both Houses (see Cabinet).

ESTATE OF PARLIAMENT.-Strictly speaking, the three <' Estates of 
the Realm" consist of, 1st, the Lords Spiritual ; 2nd, the Lords Temporal i 
8rd, the Commons. Parliament ftiUy assemUed consists of the King, with 
the two estates of the peerage, sitting in one House, and the Commonalty 
by their representatives standing below the bar. But instead of the 
three estates of the realm, we are accustomed to speak of the three 
branches of the legislature. Neither of the Houses ever deliberates in 
the presence of the Sovereign, nor will either of them permit any allusion 
in debate to his sentiments. The King, Lords, and Commons, in their 
anited character, exercise none but the legislative functions. Taken together, 
they are the Parliament, and there can be no act of Parliament in which 
they do not concur. (See Royal Assent.) In addition to this legislative 
character, common to the three, each has separate functions peculiar 
to Itself. In the Sovereign resides the whole executive authority. 
The House of Lords exercises Judicial authority as a court of dernier 
resort, and as a tribunal to which great officers of state, impeached by 
the other House, are amenable. 



^»'#>^»^#'»i^#>»i^»^» 



EXECUTIVE.— The following comprise the principal departments of the 
executive government:— The Treasury, the Admiralty, the War Office, the 
Ordnance, the Home Office, the India Board, the Colonial Office, the Board 
of Trade, the Foreign Office, the Board of Public Works, Woods and 
For^ts, the Mint, the Office of the Privy Seal, the Office of the Duchy of 
Lancaster, and the Irish Office. Those offices which are principally r^

In the great majority of offices. The Administration usually resign -vrben 
they lose the confidence of either House of Parliament ; or they may be 
dismissed by the SoTcreign, and it is competent for either House to 
present an address to the throne, praying their dismissal. The members 
of a government are understood to concur in principles of legislation and 
policy, and co-operate in Parliament upon all matters not specifically 
agreed on as open questions. Their acknowledged chief is the First Lord 
of the Treasury. When a Commoner, he frequently though not necessarily 
combines with that office the Chancellorship of the Exchequer.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.— This branch of the Legislature has not sat in 
St. Stephen*» chapel, since the year 1834, when that building was de- 
stroyed by fire. From 1885 to 1851 the representatives of the people 
held their sittings in what had previously been the House of Lords, but 
in 1852 that portion of the Palace at Westminster was taken down, and 
the House of Commons, in the early part of the same year, entered into 
occupation of a chamber not far from the north end of tbe Palace, built 
expressly for their use, and in which their sittings are now beld. That 
fvbich is called the strangers* gallery is placed at the lower end, opposite

Moled, and the Hoiue win stand adjourned to 10 o'clock on the foUowing 
■Mniing. Down to 1838, the practice wai, that a few minutes before 4 
o'clock the Speaker took his seat at the table, the Chaplain read prayers, 
the strangers' gallery was then opened, the Members present were connted, 
and, aa forty geoeraDy attended, business began. The fact Important to 
Tisiton of the House was this, that any Member might, at any time after 
U o'dodc, call npon the door-keeper to open the gallery^-a course which 
Members frequently adopted for the accommodation of their prirate friends 
whencTer a great debate was expected— hence it became difllcalt to ooi^ee- 
ture how early the gallery might be filled; but generally speaking it was 
■ot opened till 4 o'clock. During the Session of 1838, a material change 
|ook place, the House sitting from L2 till 8 o'dock in the afternoon, and 
resuming at 6. lids continued to be the practice in 1884, and was ooca- 
simially resorted to in 1836. At first the early sittings were confined to 
private business and petitions; but, towards the latter end of the Session, 
public business commenced at noon, and was continued generally tiU long 
after midnight, with the exception of the hours ftrom 8 to 6. For some 
years past, howcTcr, the old practice of not commencing business till 4 in 
the afternoon has been generally obserred, with the exception of Wed- 
nesdays, when the house sits ftom IS till 6. All Peers, distinguished 
foreigners, &c. are accommodated below the bar, besides those who are 
fortunate enough to obtain Orders from the Speaker. 



HOUSE OF LORDS,!— The strangers' gallery, as in the Commons, is not 
opened till after prayers, and strangers are excluded during divisions. 
Their Lordships frequently sit during the day as a Court of Appeal, but do 
not usually assemble in Uieir legislative capacity until five in the after- 
noon, unless upon the opening or closing of the session, which generally 
takes place at two o'clock ; or when the royal assent is to be given to Bills 
1^ commission, on which occasion their Lordships meet earlier than the 
eastomary hour, but for this purpose no precise time has been established 
by usage. While sitting in their judicial capacity, the House, like other 
courts of Justice, is open to the public. 



INTBBRUPTION OF THE SITTINGS OF PARLIAMENT.— The pro- 
eeedings of the legislature may be interrupted or suspended either by ad- 
journment, prorogation, or dissolution. Adjournment, as the term imports, 
if a postponement of the sitting orproceedings of either House of Parliament 
ftum one time, to another speeified for the reassemblage. When the sittings 
of both Houses are interrapted by royal authority, it is called prorogation. 
Dissolution puts an end to the representative character of the individuals, 
who at the timeeompose the House of Commons, as well as to that of the si''

teen Scottish Peers, and Parliament cannot again assemble until after h 
general election. The power of acyonnunent is inherent in each Honse re- 
spectively, and no precise restraints upon this power are prescribed hj 
the conrtitotion. Either House may interrupt or pcwtpone any debate, defer 
the consideration of any measure, or altogether adjourn its sittings. The 
Lords frequently ai^ourn *' during pleasure," which means that the Lord 
Chancellor or other Speaker of the House may, in the exercise of his 
discretion, take his seat on the woolsack, two other Peers being present, 
and cause business to proceed at any hour within the day on which saeli 
ad^*ournment " during pleasure' takes place, otherwise their Lordshlpa* 
House will stand adjourned to the usual hour on the following day; bat 
usage has fixed fi?e o'clock, p.k., as the time for resuming after all 
adjournment " during pleasure." The Commons, on the contrary, always 
ctd^oum to a time specified. The Speaker of that House may, in confor. 
mity with the preriously expressed wish of the body over which he pre- 
sides, leave the chair during any number of hours; but such proceeding is 
merely regarded as a temporary suspension of business, and not called an 
adjournment. (See House of Commons.) The a4}oumment of one 
House is no adjournment of the other. The Crown may, pending an 
adjournment, summon by proclamation, either House or both ; and may 
direct either or both Houses to adjourn to any particular day, which 
direction has always been obeyed to the letter; but some Members, 
and even some writers of authority, have denied the existence of such 
a prerogative, yet it has been frequently exercised, and never resisted. 
It is contrary, however, to modern usage. An individual member may for 
the time interrupt the progress of business, by successive motions of 
a^oumment, which may be repeated indefinitely; but the adoption of this 
course rarely has the effect of delaying proceedings for more than 'a single 
day. In Committee, to move that the Chairman report progress is equiva* 
lent to moving that the debate be then adjourned. Adyonrnment does not 
close the session ; prorogation does not terminate the Parliament ; the 
former is an act of either House ; the latter an act of the Crown, the dura- 
tion of which may be subsequently extended or curtailed, according to the 
royal pleasure. All unfinished proceedings are quashed by prorogation ; 
but during an adjournment they remain t'n statu quo. Prorogation never 
extends beyond eighty days (see Privileges of Parliament), but fkesh 
prorogations may take place from time to time by proclamation, and continue 
to be renewed till it is intended that Parliament should really assemble for 
the despatch of business. The Crown, by proclamation, may, notwithstand- 
ing a prorogation, summon Parliament on giving fourteen days' notice. 
Dissolution is the civil death of the Parliament, and may be effected by 
the pleasure of the Crown, by the demise of the Crown, or by length of 
time. The existence of a Parliament cannot be prolonged, even by the

■ofliMiiy of the monarch, for a greatef peciod than aeren yean i and how 
•f «r recently elected, it mnit expire in six HMitha at most from the demiae 
of the Crown; bat, of conne, it may be diaaolyed by the SoTerrign in a 
leu period than six months from the death of his predecessor. If Parlia- 
ment at the tinte of the Sovereign's death be separated by a4}onrament or 
prorogation, it must assemble immediately. If no Parliament be then in 
existence, the members of the last must again meet and may serve as a Parlia- 
ment for six months, nnless sooner prorogued ; and so much importanee 
appears to be attached to an instant assemblage, thatnpon the dendse of the 
Crown even the intervention of Sanday is not permitted to delay the 
meeting of both Houses. 

LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR.— This distingnished Ainctionary being 
keeper of the great seal, is by prescription Speaker of the House of Lords, 
and is usually a Peer. When royal commissions are issued for opening the 
Session, for giving the royal assent to bills, or for proroguing Parliament, 
the Lord Chancellor is always one of the Commissionen, and reads the 
royal speech upon the occasion. When the Sovereign opens or closes the 
Session in person, the Lord Chancellor stands on the right of the throne, 
and hands to the Monarch the speech opening or terminating the annual 
lalwurs of the Legislature.

NEWSPAPER REPORTING^— A century ago there wu Bo publication 
irliich could properly be said to contain a satisfaetory account of parliament 
tary proceedings ; and even within the recollection of many persons now 
alive the debates were but very imperfectly reported. From the oommence- 
mentof the American war, however, till the year 1814,a gradual improve- 
ment took place in the publication of debates, until at length the art of the 
Reporter, and the business of the Publisher, wen prosecuted with a degree 
of sncoess, the elfects of which will continue to be felt so long asfteedom and 
civilization exist in England. When the closeof the warin 181S diminished 
at once the supply and the importance of foreign intelligence ; when the 
public attention became directed with almost exclusive anxiety to domes- 
tic affidrs, the publication of Parliamentary debaties appeared to become an 
object of national importance, and in the course of a few years assumed its 
present fall, detailed, and accurate character. It is contrary to the stand 
tag order* of both Houses that any strangers should be present, and a>- 



82 EXPLANATION OF PARLIAMENTARY 

individual member can demand that the order be enforced ; thepablieatimik 
therefore, of d^Mtesis held to be theoretically a breach of pririlege; bat 
in modem times, if any member were repeatedly to insist npon the ex- 
elusion of '* strangers." as all are called who neither are members nor offiocni 
of the House, there can be no doubt that this abuse of the priTlIege must 
lead to such a modificatitm of the standing order as would deprive indi. 
▼idual members of any controul over a matter so interesting to the nation , 
whose representatives and servants they are, ih>m whose pleasure their 
Parliamentary existence and authority are derived, and by whom that autho- 
rity would doubtless be speedily withdrawn , were any attempt made to carry 
on the business of the public without publicity. 8ecret deliberations have 
been so long renounced, that the right of the public to be present through 
their agents, the Reporters, is as clearly established now as if no theoretical 
privacy had ever existed. The process of Parliamentary reporting, and the 
qualifications of those by whom the task is performed, cannot be adequately 
described within the narrow limits of this article, but it is hoped that the 
reader may be enabled to form some idea of both from the following brief 
outline. Every publication not copying from, or abridging any other, bat 
giving original reports, keeps one of a series of Reporters constantly in 
the gallery of the Lords and another in the Commons. These, like 
sentinels, are at stated periods relieved by their coUeagnes, when they 
take advantage of the interval to transcribe their notes, in order to be 
ready again to resume tbe duty of note-taking, and afterwards that of 
transcription for tbe press. A succession of Reporters for each esta- 
blishment is thus maintained, and the process of writing from their notes 
never interrupted till an account of the whole debates of the evening 
has been committed to the hands of the printer. There are only seven 
publications for which a Reporter is constantly in attendance, and these 
nckide the London morning newspapers, from which all others that 
give debates are under the necessity of copying or abridging them. The 
number of Reporters maintained by each varies trom ten or eleven to 
seventeen or eighteen. They are for the most part gentlemen of liberal 
education— many having graduated at the Universities of Oxford, Cam- 
bridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Dublin ; and they must all possess a 
competent knowledge of the multifarious subjects which come under the 
consideration of Parliament. The expedition and ability with which their 
duties are performed must be admitted by every one who attends a debate 
and afterwards reads a newspaper, while the correctness and rapidity 
with which their manuscript is put in type and printed, has long been a 
subject of surprise and admiration. Mr. Sheirs speech on the Income 
Tax (March Ist, 1845), contains the followingpassage:— " What can be 
more unjust than to impose the same Tax upon a man whose income is 
derived from hb intellectual toil— whioh may be called the sweat of his 



TBRM8 AND PROCfiBDINGS. 83 

nisd— «ad apon the man whose inoome is as stable as the earth on which 
we tread f can there be a greater injnstice than to tax, in the same propor- 
tion, the first liord of the Treasnry and the gentlemen who report his 
speech on the Inoome Tax in the gallery of this House f There are men in 
that gallery of liberal edacation, and of minds embellished with every 
literary adornment, who, by great labour, by great wear and tear of body 
and miud, acquire an inoome which falls within the range of the tax, 
although it is far firom being commensurate with the ability or the oseftil- 
ness of a class to which some of the first men in England hare belonged." 

OFFICE (ACCEPTANCE OP).— See ChlltemHondreds. 

ORDER.'-By this word is meant an obedience to certain regalations 
which are intended to facilitate the despatch of business, and preserTe 
deeoram in public deliberations. The rules by which the business of the 
Omses of Parliament is conducted are of two kinds, one class they possess 
in common with all public assemblies, another is peculiar to themselTcs (see 
Speaker, duties of, as also House of Lords, order in). For the proper 
application of these rules, it has been found necessary that some ofBoet 
should be appoint^, to whose decision deference will be paid. Such an 
ofllcer is the Chairman or Speaker. In the House of Comnums (though the 
practice in the Lords is otherwise), he takes no part in debate, his dutj 
iieing to regulate the manner in which business shall be trajMac,ted} to 
confine those who address the House to the real subject under discussion ; to 
pronounce an opinion upon any thing relating to order } to put the mattet 
in dispute into the form of a question, on which the votes of the body at 
large may be taken ; to announce the decision of the minority ; to declare 
the proceedings of the assembly closed at the completion of the business of 
the day, and to see that they are properly recorded. The first act of the 
Member who presides is to intimate that business should commence, whidi 
is done by calling on the individual whose motion stands first on the list of 
■otioes, or who is otherwise entitled to precedeoce* A motion being made* 
it is necessary that it should be seconded, else it falls to the ground. This 
done, the terms of the motion are handed in writing to the Chairman, who 
reads them aloud. Objections may then be taken. Amongst the several 
modes of opposing a motion, are the following— a direct negative, an 
amendment, a postponement, proceeding to "the other orders," moving 
"the previous question," or an adjournment. A motion which has 
been moved, seconded, and read, becomes a sort of property of the whole 
body, and cannot be withdrawn without leave. If no objector to a mo- 
tion present himself, neither the mover nor seconder has a right to speak 
again, except in explanation ; but if an objection be started, a right 
of reply if, according to the courtesy of all assemblies, acquired by the 

F 2 



94 EXPLANATION OF PARLIAMBNTARY 

norer of any original motion, bat not by the mover of an amendment ;— 
the prlTilege of explanation, however, ia conceded to all. The debate being 
ended, either by a pause, or at the manifest wish of a large minority, the 
presiding Member pats the question, calling upon those who are fiivoar- 
able to say " ay,** and those of a contrary opinion to say " no." He then 
declares, that in his judgment the "ayes" or the *'noes*' ** have it." If any 
Member should question this decision, the House must divide, the Speaker 
•r Chaitman appointing tellers ; in the House of Lords, the phrase is 
"content" and *'not content," whilst in most other public assemUlea 
the votes previous to a division are taken by show of hands. When 
an amendment has been moved, it is usoal to take the votes simply 
fbr the amendment, and then for the original motion ; but in Parlia- 
ment the practice is that the Speaker or Chairman should read to the 
House the original motion, next that he should read the amendment, 
and then say, " the question which I am to pat is, that the words pro- 
posed to be left out (by the amendment) stand part of the question." 
Should the "noes'* prevail, the amendment then becomes a substantive 
motion, upon which other amendments may be moved, and considered in 
like manner as the first. Thus a number of successive amendments to 
the mriginal motion may be disposed of, though no amendment can be 
moved upon an amendment ; but all the amendments as well as the 
motion itself may be negatived. Any Member is at liberty to interrupt 
another by '* rising to order," vis., calling the attention of the chair, 
or of the assembly at large, to the fact, that a breach of order was then 
being committed. When two or more Members rise at once to address 
the House of Commons, the Speaker or Chairman determines who 
shall have precedence. In Pariiament it is contrary to order for those 
engaged in debate, to mention any Member by name (excepting the 
Chairman of Committees). It is also out of order to speak in direct terms of 
any proceedings of the other House, unless the; have been formally made 
known by " message,* or recorded in the notices, votes, or orders of the 
other House. It is also Irregular to refer to the opinions of the Sovereign ; 
speeches from the throne and royal messages being treated as the senti- 
ments of the ministry, which the Sovereign utters or communicates on 
their responsibility.j

ORDER IN THE LORDS.— The rules of order in the House of Lords differ 
in some particulars from those observed in the Commons. In debate those 
who speak address the whole house, and not the chairman. The Peer who 
sits on the woolsack or in the chair of committees has no duties to perform 
during the deliberations of the House, excepting to "put the question." 
He is not the Judge or guardian of order. If several Peers rise together.

tHe Hoiue decides who shall first be heard. The speaker or deputy 
speaker of the Lords is not disqualified «x officio flrom taking a part in

ORIGINATING BILLS.— With the Crown all bills of amnesty originate} 
—with the House of Lords all bills relating to a restitntion in blood and to 
restitutionof honours:— with the House of Oommonsall bills relating to the 
public income and expenditure, and all other measures that can properly 
come within the class of " money bills." Bills aftecting the royal prerogatire 
are not usually introduced into either House without the previous consent 
of the Crown. It is considered unconstitutional tor one House to take the 
initiative in any measure affecting the pririleges of the other. In general 
it is held that in the Lords should originate bills of " pains and penalties,* * 
or other measures founded upon oral testimony, as their Lordships, unlike 
the Commons, hare the power of examining witnesses upon oath.

PARLIAMENT.— The Commons are not the Parliament, neither are the 
Lads nor the Crown; but the three united are the "Estates," which in 
their triple capacity constitute the Parliament, and exercise the legislatire 
functions of the realm. A peer is of course as much a member of ParUa< 
ment as a commoner, while the Crown is a whole estate of Parliament 
centred in the person of an individual. The two Houses convened by 
royal authwity, and acting jointly with the Crown, constitute the Legis- 
ature or Parliament; audits acts are called indifferently "Statutes'* or 
" Acts of Parliament :* they have the ftill force and effect of law. (See 
"Bills,' as also "Estate of Parliament.*) The power of Parliament is 
held to be transcendent, and subject to no limitation whatever. An Act of 
Parliament binds every subject, and even the Sovereign, when specially 
named therein ; and no authority less than that of Parliament can dispense 
with or abrogate a statute.

may be described as conatsting of the fallowing parts | the reader, however,

SooCtUb. It flreqaantly happens Umt Feen of England, or of the Ublted 
Kingdom, hold an equal or niperior rank tn the peerage of Scotland or that of 
Ireland. In which case, though popularly known by the higher dignity, th^ 
ttm hare Mats and Tote* in the House as of the inferior rank. Lord Paget 
(by courtesy Earl of .Uxbridge) } Lord (by conrte^ Earl) Eruce, heirs re. 
spectirely to the Peerages of An^esey and Ailesbury, were called to the 
Upper House during their fathers' 11 res. The peers of Scotland and Ireland 
hare a place In the House only by their representatires, of which Ireland 
sends 28, and Scotland 16. By the Act of Union, no Irish Peer eqjoying a 
British dignity can be elected a Representattre Peer. But the case of an 
Irish Representative obtaining an EngUsh Peerage after his election was 
not adverted tot there are consequently at present some Irish representa. 
tires who sit by their Irish dignities, though holding also English baronies. 
Of the 25 English and Welsh Bishops, 24 sit as Barons, the Junior mem. 
her of the episcopal bench being excluded flrom the House of Lords. The 
Bishop ot Sodor and Man is not a Lord of Parliament The Irish Bishops 
sit In annual rotation, four every year. The Scottish peers are choaen with 
ettrj new FarUament. The tventy-^j^t IrUh temporal peers are elected for

PETITIONS.— There are several regulations reqpecting petitions to Pltflla.

When intended for the House of Lords, a petition must be addressed, ** To the

miVILEGES OF PARUAMKKT.— These are of three kinds: lst,tbepri. 
Tikges which appertain to members individually ; Snd, those which belong 
Id either House in its collective capacity ; 3rd, those of both Houses Jointly. 
Tram well known precedents it appears that the Lords and Commons, 
acting concurrently, can assume the supreme power whenever the throne 
is vacant, or the Sovereign incapable of exercising the royal ftinctlons, as 
at the Revolution in 1688} tn 1 783, when the sovereign authority 
t oflbred to the Prince of Wales, thou^ George III. recovered so speedily 
that a regency became unnecessary } in 1818, when a restricted regency 
was appointed } and, subsequently, when the restrictions were removed. 
Ihe aeparate privileges of either House are extensive, but they are, at the 
sanoe time, uncertain and indefinite. Amongst those privileges are the power 
of committing individuals to prison, the power of publishing matters which, 
if not Issuing from such high authority, might became the sul^Ject of proceed- 
tqgs In a court of law, the power of dii ecting the Attomey.General to prosecute 
persona accused of oflbnces against the laws, or affictiog the privilege of Par. 
liament, and, finally, a power vested in each House rekpectively of doing any 
tUng not directly contravening an Act of Parliament— which m^y be necessary 
for the vindication or protection of itself in the exercise of its own constitu. 
tional functions. In the dally proceedings of Parliament questions of privilege 
■ke pc«cadence of all other business. The privileges of individual members 
of Parliament are freedom of speech and person, Includtaig freedom firom legal 
arrests and seisures under process from the courts of law or equity ; this, bow

PKOROOATION^-See Interruption of the Sttings of Parliament. 
QUESTION.— See Order. 

' &OTAL ASSENT.— The act by which the Crown agrees to a bill which 
has already passed both Houses is called *< The Royal Assent,'* which may- 
be given by the Sovereign in person robed, crowned, and seated on the 
throne in the House of Lords, the Commons standing at the bar : or tlie 
royal assent may be given by commissioners appointed by the Crown ibr 
that special purpose and for the single occasion. The forms olwerved In botfa 
cases do not vary, and are as follow :— The Lords being assembled in their 
own House, the Sovereign or the Commissioners seated, and the Commons 
at the bar, the titles of the several bills which have passed both Houses are 
read, and the King or Queen's answer is declared by the clerk of the Parlia. 
ments in Norman French. To a bill of supply the assent is given in the 
following words >— '< Le roy (or, la rttne) remereU set loyal miffeeUf aceept§ 
leur bennoUnee et atnrt le iteut," To a private bill it is thus declared :— ** SoU 
JtM eomme U est dettri.*' And to public general Mils it is given In theae 
terms :— ** fse roy for, la reine) le veut." Should the Sovereign rei'uae his 
assent, it Is in the gentle language of ** Le roy (ot^ la retnt) s*tt»lsera *.*' As 
acts of grace and amnesty originate with the crown, the clerk expressing the 
gratitude of the subject addresses the throne as follows :—f* Lei prilaUt

8ERJ£AKT AT ARMS.— Of oflkers beartng this title, there are sereral | 
some are attached to the Court of Chancery ; but there are two appointed by 
ttie Crown to attend the Hciuaes of Parliament, and each has a deputy. In 
the House of Lords, the practical maintenance of decorum below the bar, 
near the throne, and in the gallery, devolves upon the gentleman and yeoman 
mher, with their assistants, so that « the Serjeant at Arms attending the 
House of Lords" has less conspicuous duties to perform than those which 
devolve upon " the Seijeant attending the House of Commons ;" both, how> 
ever, execute the commands of the House to which they belong, as regards 
One apprehension or custody of all persons committed by order of Parliament. 
In tiie House of Commons, the Serjeant at Arms is an officer ,of considerable 
Importance, enjoying large emoluments, assisted by a deputy and several 
subordinate officers} during the sittings of the House he occupies a chair 
below the bar, and be directs a large proportion of the arrangements con> 
aected with the maintenance of order in the approaches to the House and 
the offices adjacent He Is at once the executive and the ceremonial officer 
of the lower House ; but his discretionary powers are not extensive, for 
abnost all his more important duties are performed under the immediate 
direction of the House itself, communicated through the Speaker. The 
office is usually held hy a gentleman of the military profesaion, seldom under 
the rank of a field officer. 

SESSION.— The term session, applied to the sittings of any public assembly, 
would be generally understood to signify the period during which they sat 
without any intermission or recess j but in Parliamentary language it has a 
more extensive signification. Unless Parliament be prorogued, the session 
is not dosad. The House of Commons takes care to limit to one year the 
duration of certain acts of nu'liament, such as the Mutiny Act, all statutes 
authorising the levy of taxes, &c., without which tlie Government of the 
country could not be carried on, and the Crown, therefore, is compelled to 
resort to an annual assemblage of Parliament, which usually takes place in 
the beginning of February, though special circumstances may sometimes lead 
to ttM appointment of an earUer period. Fourteen days at least, but generally 
thirty or forty days previous to the intended meeting, a proclamation ia 
issued by the Crown, commanding the attendance of the Lords and Commons, 
usimlly at Westminster ; but it may be at any place within the United King- 
dom. The Hottiet being assembled, the Sofereign meeta tbem In the How

of Lardif and delivers a speech. In thU manner does a session commeoce. 
The drcumstance of either or both Houses a(!Uouming their sittin|;s, whether 
with} or without tlie recommendation of the Crown» does not terminate the 
session. To efibct thatj there must be an actual pronation under a royal 
commission, or by the Sorereign in person. The progress which a measure 
maltes in one session, does not influence its position in the next, or in any 
other } for if not completed previous to the prorogation of Parliament, it 
must in any following session be commenced ae nono. The mere assemblage 
and prorogation are not howerer sufficient of themselves to constitute a 
session, imless one bill, at least, have passed both Houses, and received the 
Royal assent. The business usually transacted on the first day of every 
session U to take into consideration the speech from the throne j but for 
" form sake," one bill always receives a first reading, in order, it is said, to 
assert a right in the Parliament of not being obliged to give precedence to the 
subjects contained in the royal speech. In the year 1763, in 1817, and on 
various other occasions, the consideration of the King's speech has been 
ddayed by discussions on other subjects, but generally the practice is to 
proceed with it at five o'clock in the afternoon, namely, in about two hours 
after the speech has been delivered. The usual duration of the session is from 
February to August ; but no number or length of adjournments destroys ita 
continuity. In the year 1621, the House of Ck>mmons adjourned iu sittings 
for five months j but yet it was held that the session liad not terndnated. (See 
Interruption of the Sittings of Parliament.)

SPEAKER OP THE HOUSE OF COMMONS (DUTIES OF).— This great 
officer nmst have been anciently as at present the organ or mouthpiece of the 
Commons, although in modem times he is more occupied in presiding over 
the deliberations of the House, than in delivering speeches on their behalf. 
Amongst the duties of the Speaker are the following}— To read to the Sove- 
reign petitions or addresses from the Commons, and to deliver, in the Royal 
presence, whether at the Palace or in the House of Lords, such speeches a« 
are usually made on behalf of the Commons } to manage in the name of the 
House, where counsel, witnesses, or prisoners, are at the bar} to reprimand 
persons who have incurred the displeasure of the House } to issue warrants 
of committal or release for breaches of privilege, to communicate m writing 
with any parties, when so instructed by the House} to exercise vlgUance in 
relbrence to private bills, especially with a view to protect property in general, 
or the rights of individuals, flrom undue encroachment or injury } to express 
the thanks or approbation of the Commons to distinguished personagesj to 
controul and regulate the subordinate officers of the House ; to entertain the 



TEBMS AND PR0CSEDING8. Ql 

I «t dinner* In duA mooeniont and at Mated pcriodt; to adjourn tbe 
Borne at four o'clock, if fortjr memben be not present (aee A4|oumment) ; to 
appoint tellen on divialont. The Speaker mtut abstain from debating, unless 
In Comnilttees of tbe whole Hoase. As Chalnnan of the House, his duties 
are the same sm those of any other President of a deliberatiTe assembly. (See 
Order.) When Parliament is about to be prorogued, it is customary for the 
a^eeker^to address to the Sorereign, in the House of Lords* a speech, re. 
oa|>itnlallfig the proceedings of the session. 



SPSAKEB^HIS PRIVILEOES, APPOINTMENT, AND RANK.— He Is 
dhosen by the House of Commons from amongst its own members, sul^ect to 
the appronti of the Crown, and holds his office till the dissolution of the 
larllament In which he was elected. His salary is 6Q001. a-year, exduslre of 
a ftxmished lestdence. At tbe end of his official labours he Is generally 
rewarded 1^ a peerage, and a penslMi of 40001. fbr two lirex. He is a member 
of tite Frtvy Council, and entitled to rank after Barons. When forty members 
are not present, he may adjourn the House without ieare (see Adjournment). 
Generally speaking, buafaiess cannot be transacted in his absence, though to 
0iis rule there was an exception in the year 1606, a prisoner being released by 
Older of the House during the Illness of a Speaker. Should a member 
persevere in breaches of order, the i^peaker may ** name " him, as It Is called, 
aooone uniformly followed by the censure of the House. In extreme caiea 
the Speaker may order members or others into custody until the pleasure 
of the House be signified (aee Committals). On dirlsions, when the numl)er8 
happen to be equal, he gives tbe casting voice, but he never otherwise 
votes. 



SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.— The Lord CfaanceUor U the 
keeper of the great seal, and by virtue of that office he becomes on the bare 
ddivery of the seal to him t^ the Sovereign, Speaker of the House of Lords. 
Be is usually, but not necessarily a peer. There has always been a Deputy 
S^ker, and sometimes two. The Chairman of Committees generally fills 
the latter office (see Chairman of Committees on Commons). In the absence 
of the Lord Chancellor and of the Deputy Speaker, it is competent to the 
Honae to appoint any noble Lord to take the woolsack. The Speaker is the 
oigan or mouthpiece of the House, and it therefore is his duty to represent 
their Lordships in their collective capacity when holding intercourse with 
other public bodies or with individuals. He has not a casting vote upon 
diTlaUmi, for should the numbers prove equal, the not contents prevail. (See 
ftfrmkar of tbe House of Commons, duties o^ privileges oL) The Deputy 
Tiffnlrrr of tbe Lords li appointed hf the Crown. (See Order, aa also Order in 
the Lords.)

SUPPLY (COMMITTEE OF>-^All proceedings wlil<di relate to the publit 
income or expenditure, must originate vlth the House of Commons, and the 
initiative to the latter consists of resolutions moved In a Committee of 
Supply, which is always a Conmiiltee of the whole House. In the course 
of the session, estimates are mbmitted to a Committee of Supply, and resolu. 
tions moved therein, granting to the Crown the sums requisite for defraying 
the expense attendant upon the various branches of the public service. Those 
resolutions having been considered and disposed of, such amongst them a* 
may be affirmed, are reported to the House, reconsidered, and adopted or 
rejected. Under authority of those to which the House agree, the Lords of 
the Treasury issue the requisite ftinds for carrying on the service of the 
country. At the end of the session, the supply resolutions are consolidated 
in the Appropriation Bill, which is sent up to the Lords, and being there 
coxuidered and decided on, receives the Royal assent, and becomes law. The 
Lords may r^ect this or any other money bill { but it would be considered an 
invasion of the privileges of the Commons if their Lordships were sub- 
stantially to modify measiues of this class ; the Commons, however, do not 
olilect to consider any verbal emendations which may be made I7 the other 
House. Before any bill can be introduced, authorising expenditure of public 
money, resolutions must be moved in Committee of Supply, agreed to there, 
reported, and confirmed by the House.

WAYS AND MEANS (COMMITTEE OF).— As the Committee of Supply 
(which see) relates to the expenditure of the nation, so the iunctlons and 
duties of a Committee of Ways and Means; have reference to the fUnds by 
which such expenditure is to be sustained. Loans, duties, taxes, tolls, re- 
venue and imposts of every description, are submitted to a Committee of 
Ways and Means (which is always one of the whole House). The pro. 
positions of Government on these subjects are reduced to the form of resolu. 
Uons, considered, decided on } and such as are agreed to, reported to the 
House. Those which may be there adopted are embodied Into Mils, and in 
due course become law. As in the case of supply, the Lords may eject, but 
cannot modify } neither can their Lordships insert pocuniaiy penalties in aaj 
bUl whatever.

the temporary address of every Member is registered.
